Ken's wrong - Camden does want the Tram

Ken Livingstone has been quoted as saying that Camden doesn't seem to be in favour of the Cross River Tram. That isn't true. We the undersigned would like to make sure that the Mayor, Ken Livingstone, understands that there is indeed considerable support for the tram in Camden, in particular from our cross-party Sustainability Task Force of councillors whose concern is climate change.

We support the tram because we believe that it will provide an environmentally friendly addition to our public transport system. We welcome the tram routed along our main roads and see this as an opportunity to make the streetscape more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly. The overwhelming majority of Camden's councillors support the tram as a way to link up Camden Town, Euston, Kings Cross and points south. And the key point is that we do back the tram. Passionately.
